Job description

The Christian Young Leaders Programme is a new workstream focused on equipping, resourcing, and commissioning 4,500 young leaders (school years 9-13) for mission and ministry with children and young people by 2030. These young leaders will join the programme through churches, youth work, and educational settings, contributing to 15% of the overall 30k target by 2030.


At its heart, this programme expresses the conviction that young people are a full part of the Body of Christ, not future members of the Church but active disciples and leaders within the church. Initial design work for the programme has been developed in partnership with colleagues from Vision & Strategy, Education (the National Society), the Ministry Development Team, and a range of parachurch organisations. The programme will build on best practice from dioceses, schools, and local church contexts, ensuring safeguarding and inclusion remain central to every aspect.
The Young Leader Programme Lead will lead this new Christian Young Leaders programme from pioneering pilots through to full scale delivery across the Church of England to enable 4500 young people to grow in their faith and engage in mission and ministry with children and young people by 2030.


The post-holder will lead a national Christian formation programme for young leaders that becomes locally owned which helps young people grow in confident faith and discover their gifts as they contribute to being change-makers in the life of the Church and the wider community.


Key to our approach is a commitment to build upon existing good practice in dioceses, schools, and local church contexts and to ensure that young people's voices are heard throughout the process. Alongside this, we are committed to ensuring that safeguarding and inclusion are central to every aspect of the programme.

This is a fixed-term position until 31 Dec 2028
Interviews will be held on Monday 02 March

Responsibilities

  • Lead the Young Leaders workstream of the 30K Project
  • Lead the development of the national Christian leadership formation framework and any accreditation mechanisms for the Young Leaders Programme.

  • Co-design the Christian formation programme content with young people, youth practitioners, diocesan teams, leadership parachurch agencies, integrating discipleship and leadership concepts shaping CYP content for CYP.
  • Ensure the Christian formation programme is engaging, inspiring, and integrates strong Christian themes and theological threads throughout.
  • Co-ordinate and manage national and regional gatherings and networking opportunities to maximise the missional impact of this Christian leadership programme.
  • Lead the development of resources, branding, and communications to promote the programme nationally.
  • Build collaborative partnerships with dioceses, schools and Christian youth organisations to deliver the programme locally.
  • Ensure close coordination with the wider 30k Project, Ministry Development Team, Vision and Strategy, Growing Faith Foundation, and Education Team initiatives.
  • Work closely with safeguarding professionals to ensure the programme has safeguarding embedded in its design, delivery and frameworks.
  • Address the need to train and support a network of Christian mentors, youth ministers and local leaders to support the Christian formational and missional aims of the programme.
  • Lead ongoing evaluation and refinement based on pilot learning to inform national rollout.
